for simplicity of illustration each fold is shown by a separate dotted line.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:

1. A coin carrier consisting of a sheet of paper having four or more sections parallel to each other, the first three sections being adapted to be folded over one another, and then folded diagonally from the adjacent corners of the fourth section to the opposite side of the three-section infoldment leaving a space at the center for a coin pocket, and held in a central position of and folded on to the fourth and additional sections, adaptable as a coin carrier envelope inclosure, as shown and described.

2. A coin carrier as described herein comprised of an oblong sheet of paper folded crosswise into four or more unequal sections, two parallel sections of a width required for a coin pocket being gummed at intervening points to form a coin inclosure at the center of the two sections, this infoldment'being then folded on to a third section to inclose the coin pocket, and the three sections being then folded, as a unit, diagonally from the comers of the fourth section to the other edge of infoldment at the gummed edge of coin pocket, and then folded on to fourth and other sections, substantially as shown and described.

3. A coin carrier consisting of a folding oblong sheet of paper comprised of four sections folded across the short way in parallel positions, two sections being of a suitable size to make a coin pocket by folding them on one another, then folding onto a third section which is of a suitable size to hold first two sections at the central part of a fourth envelope-size section, then folding the three folded sections in union at angles from the two adjoining corners of the fourth section to the top edge of three-section enfoldment making the form of a fiat-top pyramid with a coin pocket at the vertex, and then folding onto the fourth envelopefitting section, substantially as described.
